I have been blessed in my life to be friends with a lot of great Ethiopian Oriental Orthodox Christians. I use the service "Blacklane" a lot while traveling internationally and they seem to have a huge number of Ethiopian drivers and I've made friends with several of them.

One of the biggest headbangers I get into is how miaphysitism is functionally different from the hypostatic union.

If I'm explaining it correctly, miaphysitism expresses that Christ is one person that has one nature that is Divine Man-God. The hypostatic union expresses that Christ is one person with two natures that is fully man and fully God. I don't see how there's a functional difference. They're just cramming Fully God and Fully Man into Fully Man-God.

Can anyone else make sense of this?

Is Man -God co equal with the Father? Doesn't sound like true God from true God. Consubstantial with the Father. Just not fully God. It's like a step towards arianism. Just my .02

Yes, Man-God co-eternal and of one substance with the Father .
